Installation
Lyyt high output LED tape is supplied on 5m reels and operates from a 24Vdc power supply.
Installation should be carried out by competent electrical installers, observing the relevant electrical safety procedures.
The tape has a self-adhesive backing to allow it to be easily attached to a clean, non-porous surface.
Where less than 5m of tape is needed, there are solder points as shown below, where the tape may be cut to size. These
cut points will be at 5cm intervals. In order to re-connect to another length of tape after cutting, strip away the epoxy
coating at the solder points and solder a wire from “+” to “+” and a wire from “
-
” to “
-
” as shown below.
Some accessories are supplied with the tape reel for this purpose or alternatively, Lyyt connection clips may also be used
to join lengths of tape (156.135UK
–
156.140UK). In order to retain weather-proofing, it is advised to seal the cuts and
joints with silicone glue.
Each 5m reel of single colour LED tape is fitted with a 2.1mm DC jack socket for power input for easy connection to a
power supply. This connector may be removed and stripped for bare wire connection if a 2.1mm jack is not fitted to the
power supply.
If the power supply has enough capacity to power more than one reel, another reel can be connected to the end of the
first reel via the 2.1mm DC jack plug.
For Lyyt high output LED tape, it is recommended to link no more than 15m of tape in sequence.
Using a separate wire to loop “+” and “
-
” back to the power supply will help to avoid dimming at the far end through
voltage drop.
To connect beyond these lengths, a parallel wire must be run from the power supply to the further reels of tape.
